I've seen some do it, but "common"? Not in my circles.

But before we simply dismiss the trend, isn't this exactly what happened
to replacing sheim havayah with the triple yud (eg Siddur R' Saadia Gaon)
which became yud yud which in time became the purvey of siddurim only
and now treated as sheimos after all?

Maybe this is actually the way things are /supposed/ to go.

Tir'u baTov!
